Apr 21, 2016While there is nothing groundbreaking about Blind Spot, there doesn’t need to be. It sounds like Lush in 1994, right at the top of their game. Truly the only complaint is that there are only four songs.
-
Apr 22, 2016It's almost as if 1994's excellent, transitional Split and 1996's career peak Lovelife didn't exist. When the songs are this good, though, there should be little room for complaint.

Apr 19, 2016What’s most impressive about the Blind Spot EP is not only how deftly Lush have mined the sound that made them a real treasure in the first place, but that they’ve matured without sounding tired, cash-in or merely nostalgic.

Apr 19, 2016If there’s a weakness with Blind Spot it might simply be its brevity, or perhaps the marked absence of the kind of swaggering sonic guitar bombast the band unleashed in old songs like “Sweetness and Light” or “Superblast!.” Regardless, Blind Spot feels like an assured--albeit somewhat tentative—way for the band to dip their toes back in the water

MagnetJun 1, 2016Blind Spot sounds like the band hasn't missed a step since 1998. [No. 131, p.59]

Apr 20, 2016For this new release, the Britpop catchiness is gone in favor of the group’s dreamier side, with each of the four tracks performed behind the veil.
-
Apr 19, 2016Overall, Blind Spot works well on many levels. It shows the bandmembers aren't just exercising their nostalgic muscles while looking for a quick buck. It shows they are still capable of writing and recording very Lush-sounding music.

Apr 19, 2016Romance remains their core theme, although “Rosebud” strikes out for the harsher terrain of thoughtless cruelty.
